About Norma

Norma Bonet is a licensed clinical social worker who uses a warm, client-centered approach. She focuses on family concerns, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, and adjusting to life changes. Norma speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida.

She draws on 25 years of practical experience to guide conversations and offer steady support. Her sessions aim to be straightforward and calm. Norma encourages honest talk about feelings and events.

Background and approach

She creates a space where parents and caregivers can describe what’s happening and try small changes that fit their lives. Norma often combines client-centered work with solution-focused techniques. That means she listens first, then helps identify realistic steps toward clearer communication and less stress.

She also uses trauma-focused methods when past hurts affect day-to-day functioning. Her past work includes helping people navigate grief, attachment difficulties, and caregiver stress. She also addresses abandonment concerns, social anxiety, and challenges around pregnancy and childbirth.

Conversations typically focus on practical ways to improve relationships and daily coping. Norma believes beginning therapy is an act of courage. She supports each person at their own pace and helps set small, achievable goals.

Sessions can be adapted to what a family or individual needs in the moment.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps people clarify their own goals and priorities. It is useful when someone needs understanding and steady support as they work through family or parenting stress.

Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small, concrete steps that can change daily life. The therapist helps identify what is already working and builds on those strengths to set short-term goals. This approach fits well for parents and caregivers who want practical strategies for communication and problem solving.

Therapy is a collaborative process. The therapist will help determine which approaches fit best for a client's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they can try one method or combine techniques and adjust plans as progress is made.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow people to schedule around work and family life, revisit conversations by message, or choose the format that feels easiest in the moment. Licensed professionals can use these formats to sustain regular support and keep therapy practical and accessible for everyday challenges.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Work that takes difficult past experience into account and moves at a pace you set, with attention to feeling steady before anything else. Being in your own space can make that easier for some people.
